Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 4–5 Persian cucumbers, cut into rounds
  • 7–8 mini sweet bell peppers, sliced into rings
  • 2 large carrots, cut into ribbons or small pieces
  • 1 medium shallot, thinly sliced

Dressing & Seasonings

  • 1/4 cup Asian miso ginger dressing (any brand)
  • 1 tablespoon chili crunch oil
  • 1 tablespoon everything bagel seasoning, plus extra for topping

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Vegetables: Cut the Persian cucumbers into rounds, slice the mini sweet bell peppers into rings, peel and cut the carrots into ribbons or small pieces, and thinly slice the shallot. Ensure all vegetables are chopped evenly for a consistent texture in every bite.
  2. Combine Vegetables: Place all the chopped cucumbers, bell peppers, carrot ribbons, and shallots into a large bowl. This will be the base of your salad, filled with vibrant colors and crisp textures.
  3. Add the Dressing: Pour 1/4 cup of Asian miso ginger dressing over the vegetable mixture. Use a large spoon or salad tongs to toss everything thoroughly, ensuring the vegetables are well coated with the flavorful dressing.
  4. Season and Spice: Add 1 tablespoon of chili crunch oil and 1 tablespoon of everything bagel seasoning to the bowl. Toss the salad again so the seasoning and spicy oil are evenly distributed, enhancing the overall flavor.
  5. Finish and Serve: Sprinkle extra everything bagel seasoning on top if you desire additional crunch and flavor. Serve the salad immediately to enjoy its crisp freshness, or chill it in the refrigerator for about 1 hour, toss again, and serve for a colder, more marinated taste.

Notes

  • Use Persian cucumbers for their thin skin and crisp texture; English cucumbers can be a suitable alternative.
  • The Asian miso ginger dressing can be homemade or store-bought, depending on convenience.
  • Adjust the amount of chili crunch oil according to your tolerance for spice.
  • The salad is best served fresh but can be refrigerated up to 24 hours for marinated flavor.
  • Everything bagel seasoning adds a savory, crunchy element—feel free to omit or substitute if you have allergies.
